Build 26505740

Hello Defenders!

Update 1.1.1 is all about performance. One of you reported heavy lag with 30+ emojis on the island, so I went through the whole game and made big teams and big battles much lighter. Thank you for the report! Your progress is safe and the balance stays the same. If the game still slows down for you, please tell us on the Discord server or in the Steam discussions

Performance

• Changed: Bullets and coins no longer use the physics engine, which was the biggest cost in large battles

• Changed: Bullets that miss now disappear after leaving the battlefield, instead of flying far off screen

• Changed: Auto Emoji Setup no longer freezes the game. It now works in small steps in the background and updates your team one slot at a time, so with a very large inventory a full update can take a little longer

• Changed: The inventory no longer refreshes while it's closed, which makes opening packs much lighter

• Changed: Bonuses from duplicate drops are calculated much faster with a large inventory

• Changed: Bullet shells, muzzle flashes and blood use less performance

• Changed: Extra shotgun pellets show fewer shells and flashes as the battle grows. With a small team you still get the full effect

Quality of life

• Changed: New drops are sorted right away while the inventory is open

Have fun!
